This performance enhancement component represents a specific type of aftermarket modification for vehicles, typically Subaru models. It involves relocating the turbocharger from its factory position to a different location, often higher and further back in the engine bay. An example would be installing a high-performance turbocharger to enhance engine output.
The alteration can lead to significant improvements in horsepower and torque, especially at higher engine speeds. This is achieved through optimizing airflow and potentially accommodating a larger turbocharger. Historically, such modifications have been popular amongst enthusiasts seeking to maximize the performance potential of their vehicles and gain a competitive edge on the track or in other performance driving scenarios.
